Not mad at all. Not a huge boxing fan but Fury's story is cool. Glad he's having success again. Also thoroughly enjoyed his rendition of American Pie post fight.

Americans have more poor *******s, and more boxers, they just are worse than the few boxers Europe produces.
Not especially popular. We have some great athletes dotted around in various sports. Mikkel Kessler, Bjarne Riis, Caroline Wozniacki, Kristian Eriksen

Elite sports isn't pushed the same as in other countries. Population is also under 10% of the UK.

There might be some LHW and MW that could beat the UFC HW champ though. Seriously though in a street fight I'd rather fight Mike Tyson than a dude like Yoel Romero.

@OP I doubt anyone really cares though, Americans have had great boxers throughout history aswell.


Anthony Joshua - British citizen, born and raised in Hertfordshire, but yeah sure he's 'not British'. I guess Wilder ain't american either under the same logic just fukin lol.

Tyson Fury - Born and raised in Manchester, to an Irish traveller family from Belfast, which is in Nothern Ireland, which is part of Britain, which in turn makes his parents British... so a born and raised British citizen living in Britain, with British parents and he's represented England in the olympics, but 'not British' according to you? Again, nice try but your logic is beyond retarded.
White people always claim ethnic people as their own when it benefits them

But the random kid born to in London to African/Middle eastern/Asian parents is African/Middle Eastern/Asian and are immigrants that should go back lmao

OP is just a subhuman troll so posting in his thread seems like a waste, but interestingly enough than British Champ Henry Cooper got scarily close to stopping Ali before he made it to the title. @ around 12:40

First of all.. just lmao if you think either Joshua or Wyyte are better than Wilder. Joshua got demolished by a midget overweight Mexican, then in the rematch proceeded to run away from an even FATTER Ruiz, too scared to end the fight because of that weak chin of his

That's not entirely true. Alot of people over there actually like Fury. Hes funny and not in an annoying way like Conor.. plus he can legit box while Wilder tho VERY talented with his right hand is limited

Jakob Fuglsang, Mikkel Hansen, Viktor Axelsen, Pernille Blume etc.

Also LMAO at “Kristian Eriksen”... it’s Christian Eriksen... you don’t even watch football and 3 out of 4 of the sport stars you mentioned are retired.

Please at least follow Danish sports if you’re gonna make broad comments about it.
Real Madrid, Miami Heat, New York Jets.

How many americans give a chit about boxing? Its like asking about soccer.

And bringing up Mohammad Ali fought in the 70s predominantly, Mike Tyson fought in the 90s, of course they wouldn't compete with guys of today
